Following her mother's advice, Lauren went to Jason's apartment. Her mother had promised to help her, as long she made an attempt to win his heart and also reject the divorce as much as she could. " Jason, can we go for a walk?." She said as he opened the door."Seriously, a walk?" "I want to talk to you, is that too much to ask for?" That day, when Jason asked Lauren for a divorce, she felt heartbroken but it wasn't a normal kind of heartbreak. She felt almost… insulted. All her life, no one had ever broken up with her before. For a split second, she compared her social status with Jason's and the fact that he was the one asking her to leave sounded insulting to her. "I'm really not in the mood to go anywhere, whatever it is that you want to talk about, we can do it right here. If you don't want to go inside, we can talk outside." "I want to ask you something." She started."Okay?""That day, back at my parents house, why did you lie about that girl? You and I know that she was my
"Well, I have done all the necessary test and given her the necessary treatment so I can safely say that your fianceé is ready to be discharged.""Oh thank God." It had been a week since Jason received the call that Erika has woken up from her coma and finally hearing that she was free to go home was a great news. "And our baby?""The baby is perfectly fine. Health and growing well. Just take us easy, while it is true that you're fully recovered, the baby isn't. All those time when you were in a state of coma, the baby couldn't get enough nutrients from you so now you have make up for lost times.""Okay, what do we need to do?""As the father of the baby, your job is to make sure that your fianceé doesn't stress herself. If she has a job, try to get her to take a month off at least. Then try not to close kate from work. You know you two haven't really been intimate since she got pregnant, now I'm not trying to intrude in your sexual life but it is well needed for the healthy growth of
TWO DAYS AGO.FLASHBACK.Sire, I understand the way you must be feeling presently, but I still think that this is a reckless move." Matthew protested."And I understand your reason for thinking that way Matthew. But what I want you to understand is that Erika is not going to be a threat to me, or my post as the CEO. If anything, she's a part of me and everything I do and I'mgoing to do. I can't keep this from her forever.""Noted Sire, and no one is asking you to keep it from her forever. I just feel that we should be more patient until we are a hundred percent certain that this decision is not going to backfite on us in any way possible.""I understand you, believe me I do, but I still stand on my decision." The last time Jason had dropped the subject, and Matthew had won. But not this time!"Young master, I know that I am in no position to impose any decision on you. I have no right or whatsoever to tell you what to do. But I will imploy you to reconsider. How well do you know thi
Once again, Jason was all alone at home on a weekend. Erika couldn't pay him a visit because she had gone on a trip with her mother and he was missing her. Lauren had left the apartment also but he didn't know where she went. For someone who claimed to still love him and was going to fight for him, she had been acting very secretive the past couple of days, but he wasn't too bothered about it. Things at work were doing smoothly, he hadn't heard from Rose and her father, or Daniel. Jordan barely showed up at work to demand for her job and even Phil had gone completely silent. His partnership with Marcus was still ongoing, and surprisingly enough, it was going pretty well. Whenever Marcus had a contract he wanted to execute, he would inform Jason and he would invest in it. Then once the profits were out, they would share it among each other.Erika's pregnancy was already approaching the seventh month, meaning she had only two months left till her delivery and even though he wasn't th
"Young master, I have some news to share with you." Matthew said and Jason could hear a tinge of worry in his voice."Good or bad?""I'm afraid it's bad sire.""What is it?""Phil Garcia posted on the media accusing you of embezzling your company's funds.""What?""He said you conspired with a colleague to extract funds illegally from the company.""And people believe him?""I'm afraid so. He has proof sire."He showed Jason a picture of himself in his car and a sudden realization dawned on him.Jason Paul Decker, a fraud and a thief.A twenty four year old staff at the Decker headquarters, a popular company under the name of Paul Decker, CEO of the Decker Industries is a fraud. He, along with his partner, James Anderson connived to steal millions of dollars from their company's assets. As Jason read the news, he couldn't believe his eyes. Phil went on to say he also intended on duping Lauren and that was why he was married to her. He stated that he had proof and when Jason saw the p
Steve rushed into his office to give him an update on the slandering news that was spreading about him. Phil had posted something else, and this time he had someone backing up his claims.Jason Paul Decker is not only a fraud, but also a bad husband. Even though his wife accepted him as the nobody that he was, he had the guts to have extra marital affairs with another woman.The person backing up his impossible claims was none other than his evil mother in law, Mabel Kings.He should have known that his horrible mother in law would somehow be connected in all this. Now he was starting to think that Erika's father was right. Anthony was involved in it, and it wasn't just him, the whole family was probably in on it as well. Anthony was probably doing it because there was something he would gain from it. Mabel didn't need any reason, the hatred she had for him was more than enough reason for her to wish him bad. And Phil wanted revenge on Jason for rejecting his money, so they teamed u
Jason was lost in thought, even though he acted all cool and calm in front of Rose, he was still somewhat worried about her threat. What if there was actually someone after his life? What if it was Rose herself? Or worse, what if it was her father?The Sinclair family was a scary one, with both the father and the daughter having criminal records so it wasn't impossible that they were after his life.But if it was true that they wanted him dead, Jason didn't know what his offense could be. Could it be a result of him refusing to marry Rose? Or maybe it was because he rejected her father's offer to work for him.A lot of unanswered questions were spiraling around in Jason's mind and he was at the verge of going crazy. He needed to find way to let all the problems he was facing blow over somehow, if the people hated him less, it would give him more space and time to work out some other things. But he also needed to handle things one step at a time, so he decided to call the one man that
FLASHBACK.THREE DAYS AGO."Jason, can we talk?" "You know, you really have some nerve showing up here after the stunt your mother pulled.""I am truly, very sorry. Really. I had no part in all what my mother did, Jason you have to believe me. I would never do something that would hurt you.""You want me to believe you? Then right the wrongs your mother made. Tell the world that's it was all a lie.""Of course I'll do that. In fact, I'm going to make my own video the second I get home. I'll even get mother to admit that she was wrong about the things she said."Well at least he was relieved to hear that she wasn't planning on staying at his apartment. "If you say so.""Wait! Jason, isn't there anything I can say to make you reconsider?""Reconsider what?""This divorce thing you're insisting on. I mean, what do you stand to gain by divorcing me?""Peace of mind? Freedom to be with who I really want? Lauren, I have dedicated three years of my life to you and only you, but unfortunatel
